Default Hey guys, been a while

Hi Y'all...
Been away a while.
Mostly because I got pissed at the cable company and got rid of the cable internet.
Found 'typing' on the phone too tiring. Fat Fingers here.
Then got all involved in my two C3s. Oh Hell Yeah.
Sorry I missed everyone at Carlisle, but I found what I was looking for on the first day, and grand daughters were crying because I didn't get to Boston before school started.
THAT resulted in an overnight HELL RIDE from Carlisle to Boston the next morning. Two VERY HAPPY grand daughters.
Made it to "SKIPS" in Merrimack, MA for the cruise there.
Great time with friends... a LOT of LAUGHS...
After three days of Boston area bumper to bumper and pot hole to pot hole non-stop traffic, I said "SCREW THIS" and was back in N.C. on the fourth day. sigh of relief here.
Still had the 2.73 differential in it when I got the speeding ticket in Charlotte. ugh.
Up on stands now for the 3.42 to be reinstalled tomorrow.
Y'all have a great night.

Art, good to have you back.

I think the last time we heard from you was shortly after you moved to NC.

I remember what the roads were like in Boston, when I visited family back in 2005.

I swore then I would never return, and I haven't, and don't intend too.


Bob.

Going from 2.73 to 3.42 will wake the car up but gas mileage will suffer. Been thinking about going to 4.10 myself (6-speed)
